Roman Reigns' Top 5 WWE/Universal Title Defenses

#3. Roman Reigns vs Finn Balor

Finn Balor finally got his Universal Title rematch

24 hours after conquering the beast Brock Lesnar at Summerslam this year, Reigns turned his attention to a particular individual who hadn't received a rematch for the Universal Title, which apparently he had never lost.

The two babyfaces had been amicable towards each other on screen, which made it seem like Roman was doing his part of the deal and giving Balor his well-deserved chance. In reality, it may have been just a way to end a long awaited rematch clause and push Balor back in the line of title contenders.

Whatever be the issue outside the ring, inside the squared circle however, the match was electric. Balor and his innovative move-sets are always admirable to watch. Reigns too, came blazing forward.

A nice back and forth affair and some Braun Strowman shenanigans got the audience up their seats. In the end Balor's failed Coup De Grace was converted into a Spear from Reigns to end his first Universal Title defense.
